Description

The JPM CBRN IEW has requirements that may result in full-rate production and deployment of Chemical Vapor Collectors in tactical environments worldwide. The Government requires a handheld/positionable system capable of collecting and/or preconcentrating known and unknown vapor and aerosol chemical hazards to be analyzed in a mass spectrometer or similar analytical capability. The Chemical Vapor Collectors will operate in a dismounted configuration. The Department of War will use Chemical Vapor Collectors to conduct and/or support their missions. These missions include post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination assurance, demasking, dismounted reconnaissance, and field confirmatory chemical analysis in forward operating locations. JPM CBRN IEW is updating market research from both Government and industry to ensure technical readiness and manufacturing readiness information of available capabilities is current and accurate.
